we understand that as you say egypt has been moo mediating so heavily and there have been ground grounds made and there are also some differences that have not been overcome, and one of the issues that we understand that the israelis want are egyptian guarantees to secure the border off of gaza and off of the coast of gaza to prevent weapons from going in to be used in later conflicts, but at the same time palestinian factions want international confirmation that sanctions will be lifted. so it is not what the two sides are disagreeing about, but it is whether or not the external parties can guarantee the details of the truce. so we are trying to see if they can get on the same page and we have seen over the past the few years when there is a truce or calm, it is shattered a few months or years after it goes into effect, but a glimmer of hope in egypt. >> thank you, live in israel for us. and back to the panel. i want the start with you, dana, on this, and we look at what is happening in gaza and israel and it is described as a political hot potato for the president right now, as he work
